First Rate Mortgages

Ian at First Rate Mortgages was brilliant from start to finish. He made the whole process feel simple, explained everything clearly, and was always quick to respond whenever I had a question. He found me a great deal and kept things moving the entire time, which took a lot of stress out of it. If you want a mortgage broker who is professional, friendly, and genuinely on your side, I would highly recommend Ian.

Absolutely fantastic service, more than I could have hoped for. From the very first telephone consultation Ian was professional, friendly and generous with his time and knowledge. In what was a very stressful time, Ian helped put me at ease and took the enormity and complexity of my situation and helped break it down into defined steps to be taken one at a time. Where I had questions, Ian had answers, when I didn't understand, he had an off the cuff analogy that would perfectly define the issue. Ian, along with Roisin, have made the process of finding the right Solicitors, mortgage, income protection and home and life insurance an absolute breeze. They were upfront of the costs at the beginning, which were extremely reasonable for the quality of service, and quick to respond to any questions I had. Following this experience, I'll definitely be using First Rate Mortgages again for my mortgage renewal when it comes around. Through the process it honestly felt like I was speaking with friends who had my best interests at heart (which I'm sure was true). I would have absolutely no reservations in recommending Ian and his team at First Rate Mortgages to everyone I know or to anyone reading this. It really has been a pleasure.

Fantastic service with great people! Being a first time buyer I was nervous about purchasing a property and starting a journey I knew little about. The first conversation I had with Ian immediately put me at ease. He explained the process of purchasing a property and what to expect in a friendly manner and never made me feel like I was asking silly questions. Ian and Roisin were always contactable for advice throughout the purchase with timely and thorough responses. If I was to go through the process again I would not hesitate to contact First Rate Mortgages. I will definitely be recommending them to all of my friends and family and will certainly be going to them for any mortgage needs in the future.

My partner and I got our first house a couple of years ago and used Ian’s company to help guide us on the journey. Everything was really smooth and took the stress out of getting a mortgage! Our initial two year fixed rate was up and Ian got in touch to help us renew the deal. He arranged a phone appointment and talked us through the options, citing the pros and cons. This was incredibly useful given the current climate and again, made the whole process nice and easy. We would highly recommend first rate mortgages to anyone!

First rate mortgages were recommended to us by the estate agents we were considering buying our first house from, we were told to have a no strings attached chat with Ian and see how we felt. Ian immediately made us feel at ease with the whole process, he explained everything about what would happen, how it would happen and the time frame we would be looking at. He constantly kept in touch and kept us up to date, he’s such a lovely down to earth bloke to talk to so no question felt like a silly question. We couldn’t recommend Ian and his team enough, they really go above and beyond, thank you for everything!
